You hate to see a game end on a bad call like that. If the initial ruling on the field wasn’t a bad call then the review would have been easier. Ultimately they got it wrong.
Lol… the fix was in. Two officials gave us possession on that fumble. Only to be overruled by one lone official. Then the “interception.” Typical Montana bullshit.
That said, horrible performance today. Montana State was completely there to be beaten if we just stopped the run. Down 3 RBs and their starting QB, and they run for 350. That’s completely unacceptable.

ditto.
I have not seen a replay, but I did hear Larry and Pauls rant. It would be nice if the review booth would give an explanation of what they saw. My guess is that the booth would say receiver didn't maintain possession and when the defender ripped the ball out it went up and was caught by a bobcat thus an interception.
Ya, saw the replay like 10 times on in slo-mo , it was 100% a catch and possession. The ball was ripped out from EWU WR while on the ground, then popped into a Bobcat DB. It was very fast in real life play, but the replays shown multiple times confirmed a catch and possession. Not sure what the replay officials were looking at. A complete disaster call IMO and probably cost Eastern the game. Such a travesty!!!!!!
The fumble call was even worse. The first two officials in the scrum immediately signaled second down while Eastern was in possession of the football. This is clear and obvious, the first two refs hold two fingers in the air for second down Eastern. 30 seconds later, another ref runs in and calls it Montana State ball. The call had already been made (twice). The replay said the call stands, because the replay was totally inconclusive. Had the one ref not changed the call of the other two, it’s Eastern ball.
Now, with that said, how the hell do you fumble in that situation? How do you give the ball to a guy without telling him that he needs to keep the football come hell or high water? That’s inexcusable. We giftwrapped this one today, and I’m sure there’s going to be a lot of hanging heads over the way we lost.
Montana State is a good team, but they’re nothing special. We had two weeks to prepare, and they ran exactly what we all thought they’d run…. It seemed like 50% of their plays were reads with the QB keeping the ball. And they took that rudimentary play and ran it all over on us because we can’t tackle.

Net net... Great day for football. Eastern exceeded my expectation for them in this game.
GT is GT. He sometimes plays like Dave Krieg used too and then he sometimes plays like Dave Krieg used too. If y'all recall he was a Jekyll and Hyde QB for the Seahawks in the 80's. The running game was there but putting in a cold back on key third downs feels like coaching to me.
Defensively, when the Eagles attacked with the DL they had success, when they tried to maintain the line of scrimmage they got pushed around. Again, coaching. Big improvement in tackling despite the yardage.
I still believe there is plenty of talent on the team but coaches want to use the whole playbook on both sides of the ball regardless of outcomes. MSU just kept running the same plays offensively and defensively looked to be in a mid zone most of the game. Won't go into what could have been.
Despite it all, Eags had this game in hand but for the dreaded fumble and awful refing. It stings and I wanted this one for the players as they fought tooth and nail throughout the game. That is the good news.
Ulm totally skied for that ball. Amazing. Just wanted to get that out there lest the hose job Eag's got afterwards makes us forget.
Go Eags!

Was at the game. The student section was loud and proud..was outstanding ..overflow. Ive never seen so many sitting above their section having to get kicked out for sitting in reserved seats because no where to sit in student section. Game was rowdy as it should be. MSU fans covered the shitty seats across the filed in and dotted around the stadium. Crowd was at its best i thought and i felt good! At times didnt have a clue how things were gonna shake out it was so exciting and had the feel cg at the end to win. The other things that were shaking were my nuts in expectation of a possible nut punch...and a nut punch it was.
There were some very bright points. Running game had their moment in the sun as did many receivers making nice play and GT had a solid game enough to win. i too thought we might see another QB . the play calling was questionable....questionable! they never threw a ball deep till ...i cant remember but they were throw short routes that they were defending well cause no pass was going over the top. smith had a GREAT day...great till...Why dont we pass to the tight ends more...they are playmakers..shit do it all game.
Crosby gettin hurt hurt, DEREK TOMMASINI JAREN BANKS were like stars...sometimes shined up the dark sky then sometimes couldnt find em...thought they played good. i think iy was SOLI PALESO'O who made his presence known and impressed me. bits and pieces...bits and pieces. Lucky mentioned we will be tough out and hes right. playing calling seemed restrictive on both sides and questionable at others. that was our win right in front of us. Have i mentioned our tough ass schedule? GO EAGS!
